Chapter 331: Chapter 331 Reselling?
Just by listening to their conversation, they had pretty much determined that this Li Er was indeed involved in trafficking corpses.
Liu Zheng didn’t speak, he just waved lightly at Director Xiao, and then the two of them quickly returned to the vehicle.
"Darn it, I never expected that within this crematorium, such dealings could be hidden; he must be involved in the illegal trade of human organs."
"I never thought that there would be people engaged in such business either. But, from what they said, it seems like there was some issue with those two bodies, right?"
"Clearly, Li Er has been suspecting that those people took the corpses away. But after they arrived, they were just clarifying the matter, which means, this incident has nothing to do with them. That proves the two bodies were indeed not taken by them."
"If it wasn’t them who took the bodies, then it proves that those were not actual corpses at all and they hadn’t died. So, after they woke up, they left on their own, don’t you think?"
"Good grief, the process of declaring death at our hospital is very rigorous. We can only confirm someone’s death after all signs, including the ECG, brainwaves, and breathing, have disappeared. At that time, it was definitely that scenario, so there shouldn’t be any problem with our procedures."
Director Xiao was vehemently trying to absolve himself of responsibility. If that person wasn’t dead, and their doctors hastily declared him dead, wouldn’t they be denounced as quacks?
"Director Xiao, I’m not questioning your judgment. Perhaps what you determined at the time was indeed a state of death. But, it’s very possible that these people were not dead. Right, those two super viruses, the ones you detected in the lab, are they still there?"
"They should be sealed up. With such severe super viruses, we really dare not to release them carelessly. Moreover, every procedure is very strict; there shouldn’t be any problem."
"I am rather curious to see what these two super viruses are all about, and why they can cause people to enter a state of ’false death’? Also, these two individuals must have some connection."
"Do you mean to say that from this, you should be able to find something?"
"I suspect that might be the case. However, we can’t give Li Er any more opportunities here at the crematorium. Trafficking human organs like this ultimately harms humanity. Do you understand?"
"I know. I have a classmate who works over there. It shouldn’t be a problem for me to call him now."
While saying this, Director Xiao took out his phone and dialed a familiar number.
"Hello, Captain Li? It’s old Xiao here."
"Ah, Director Xiao, how come you have time to call me?"
"I have something to report to you now. Hurry up and investigate it. It’s about a man named Li Er at our local crematorium who is responsible for stoking the boilers; he might just be a temp worker. I suspect he’s involved in the illegal sale of human organs."
"What, what did you say? Trafficking human organs? Listen, Xiao, this is no joking matter; the legal consequences are severe."
"That’s what I think, but the specifics need to be investigated by you. I can only provide you with so many clues. He’s probably taking those unclaimed bodies and secretly selling their organs before sending the bodies to the incinerator to be cremated directly. This way, everything is done without anyone being the wiser."
"Alright, I got it. I will arrange for an investigation immediately. Thank you for providing this important clue, and I will contact you once there are results. That’s it then."
After finishing, the other party hung up, and Director Xiao took a long breath of relief. Although he was somewhat repulsed by such behavior, he wasn’t an expert and couldn’t deal with it himself.
"That classmate of mine is the captain of the criminal police team, so this kind of thing shouldn’t be too difficult for him. Besides, we aren’t specialists, and it would be troublesome for us to investigate. It should be much easier for him."
"That’s good. As long as people like him can be brought to justice, we don’t have to worry about other things."
"Let’s go, let’s head back to the hospital. Then, take out that bacteria for another thorough examination to see what’s going on. Also, should I report this incident to the dean immediately?"
"Before the investigation yields any results, at the very least, only the two of us should know about this incident. We certainly can’t let others know."
"So, we need to keep this confidential, right? Okay, I got it. Let’s hurry back."
After finishing, Director Xiao started the car and turned it around to head back toward the hospital.
The 6th floor of the hospital was the pathology lab, staffed by a total of four people who usually just took care of various routine testing tasks.
When Director Xiao entered through the door, the other two people stood up quickly from their seats.
"Director Xiao, what’s going on? Why have you suddenly come here?"
After they spoke, they looked back and saw a stranger following behind, but they couldn’t see this person very clearly. At least, they had not seen him before.
"Earlier, I sent you two specimens that were found to contain a super virus upon examination. Has there been any determination made on those virus samples? And what is the situation with them?"
"We only know it’s a super virus, but after checking a lot of data, we couldn’t find any records of it. So we’re a bit at a loss about what to do next."
"Where is the virus now?"
"It’s sealed in the specimen library. We definitely can’t allow something so serious to leak out easily."
"Alright, now you need to retrieve it as soon as possible, and let that young man take a look."
"Are you sure? And who is he?"
"This is that Divine Doctor Liu Zheng, the one our hospital has been all abuzz about. Doctor Liu can treat all sorts of symptoms caused by this super virus."
